Abstract
A local hub maintains a secure and isolated connection with a device management server for reporting clinical data received from connected medical devices. Only authorized medical devices can communicate with the local hub and a list of allowed medical devices is managed by using a clinical application. A wearable device may be utilized to ensure that the user is within an acceptable range of the local hub.
